The See Well to Learn volunteers will work in groups assigned to preschools in the Bay Area in order to provide fun, developmentally appropriate play focused on strengthening awareness of the importance of vision and the importance of wearing glasses for the children served by the See Well to Learn Program. The normalization and excitement around wearing glasses will help the children increase their use of their glasses and ultimately help them to see well to learn and be school ready.

Description
A program of Prevent Blindness Northern California, See Well to Learn™ was established in 2012 to ensure that preschoolers in underserved communities have equal access to comprehensive vision care and are ready for school. Tipping Point Community provided seed funding and management assistance to launch the Eye Bus program for Bay Area preschoolers. In addition to its Screening Services and Eye Bus, See Well to Learn™ helps parents navigate the vision healthcare system, while connecting parents in need with financial resources for eye care. See Well to Learn™ also offers support on compliance, including education on specific vision disorders and support group information for parents of children with vision problems.
